Evening all. Just a quick question hoping someone has recently done it. Got my level 3 2365 science exam coming up week after next & on the C&G website it says there are only 27 questions, surely there must be more then that. I understand its a written exam but just thought there...

Just looking for a bit of help. Just finished fitting some Downlights and they have tripped the downstairs, the wiring all look spot on yet when I tried again only 3 of the 8 lights worked.  I have a tester should I test continuity from the switch or would an IR be appropriate. Thanks.

Not really the best title TBF but need a bit of advice really. Is the a big job or a little job and how much will I be looking at to have this wired up? The last electrican has already fitted an isolator for the pump last year and just wondered really is this a big job at all. Thanks...

Evening. Just wondered if anyone has ordered the extra learning from Swindon Massive for the 2365 level 2 and 3. Are they smart screens? Not really sure what they are all about. I want to order then but not sure if they will be the same ones what we get on the college blackboard.

Evening Fellas. I have basically set up a little test rig at home and when I get to testing the polarity on the 2 way lighting circuit nothing is happening when I switch the switches for polarity, its staying on the 0.72 I originally got on testing between the earth and line. I have checked...

Regarding an outside light.... Lets suppose you wanted to introduce an outside light,  with the light switch not having a return neutral I suppose the other way would be getting to the closest ceiling rose/junction box. Would it actually be possible to spur off the ring main into an FCU and fit...

Morning. Its always great to look back on past threads especially in the learning zone but everything seems to have been deleted that has links. You find something and think that will be good I will take a look at that only to find it takes you automatically back to forum home screen. Its like...

Morning gentlemen. Again just looking for the fundamentals on general installation. Lets say you've got an garden outbuilding which has its own power supply supplied from the main CU in the house, everything has been completed correctly, SWA buried etc. Lets say you want to build another...

Evening Gentlemen. Me again apologies for the many questions.  Something I was meaning to ask my tutor and I am sure I will learn it, the question is ' lets say you now change a consumer unit, I take it the tails coming in will all stay the same but these will be live, so how would this work...

Been thinking this for a while TBH. I am already doing the level 2 started before Xmas and hopefully on to the level 3 end of the year if everything go well and would like to know how best to gain a bit of experience would you recommend. Cheers

Morning Fellas. Excuse my ignorance but something I was thinking last night.  I believe I am lacking in the basic fundamentals. Lets suppose you wanted to put an outside light up, or security camera, or anything along those lines. How would that actually be achieved when finding a power source...

Evening gentlemen. Just wondered if anyone knows if there is any electrical testing within the units on the level 2 course where there will be enough to make it beneficial in forking out for an MFT?

Just wondered if anyone ever struggled to get their nut around 3 Phase and how it all works because I seem to be. Is there anything I am missing or why I cant seem to get on board. Just watched the mighty motor with Dave Austin which I am sure is brilliant if you knew what he was talking about...

Morning fellas. I just wondered whether or not anyone could point me in the correct direction on when calculating capacitive reactance which buttons to press on the calculator, I’ve found the Pi button and used the 10 to negative etc etc but for the life of me the answers are no way correct...

Afternoon. I have searched the forums looking for a test rig to get me started but no Joy so far. I'm basically looking on making myself a test rig before college just to help get myself around when doing ring circuits etc when I start. The ones I do find have either been deleted or...
